Hello Staff,
I was the primary cop at this situation, crewed with PC Maxwell Smith.
For context, we observed the male attempting to steal a flatbed truck in Paleto - This is ID 170.
He failed to hotwire the truck and then stole a local Black Sultan.
We stopped the vehicle and challenged him. He then failed to stop and was stung at Sandy Shores Junction, where he de-camped and was subsequently arrested,
At no point did this male use a phone or radio.
All of a sudden, a Trey Sands arrives on scene. Im not sure if he was one of the other two IDs, but his white/pearlcesant SUV is seen later on again. He may have been unrelated. I know his name as i ran his vehicle on ANPR.
170 was searched and so was his vehicle. No phone or radio was located. He would have had no time to drop his phone or radio before, during or after the pursuit. In the timeframe between Paleto and Sandy, he wouldnt have been able to stop without us catching up to him. I also dont see why he would do this to drop these items.
Im not sure where the car went but im 100% it didnt follow us to Sandy directly. I wouldnt have stopped with a prisoner at the station if we were being followed.
I was also driving with a speed limiter set at approx 30mph and therefore would have noticed a car speeding behind me.
When we arrived at the station, we processed the suspect. Then the two males arrived. Again, like how they wouldn't have known that he was in a chase, they wouldnt have known he went to Sandy PS.
In addition to this report, they also start to chant "free Palestine". Im not sure what RPUKs stance on this will be. I dont think anyone was offended but its obviously up to staff.
I have 3 videos, but no software to stitch them all together.
If you like to see them, i can send them via other ways.
Hope this context helps.
